So, your wedding day is just around the corner, and it looks like everything is pretty much ready. You’ve got that perfect mascara your maid of honour raved about, your flower girl is the cutest one anyone has ever seen, and all the RSVPs have been successfully sorted and worked into your guest list. And yet, when you think about your wedding day, you still feel like something is missing. What is this ‘something’?

Wedding Photography Inspiration

Clearly, you’ve hired the most reputable and talented wedding photographer. Your friends used his services and you just can’t be wrong by going with this guy. But at the last meeting he said something like, “and of course, if you want any particular photos, please let me know”. Here you go! Do you know what these specific wedding pictures should be like? It’s time to get your homework done!

Symbol of Toronto – the CN Tower – is behind bride and groom.

So where do you look for inspiration? Simply googling “wedding photography” won’t help much, as you probably already know. But there are actually a number of places to get inspired.

Your Wedding Photographer Website

That’s right! :) When was the last time you visited his/her website? Good wedding photographers perfect their style and, like a good wine, get better with years. If your wedding is only weeks or days away, it is a good time to check your photographer’s blog and portfolio. Whatever you find online, try to make sure it matches your photographer’s style. If he or she shoots mostly glamorous, beautiful, posed photographs, it might not be a good idea to ask them for lots of candids; or, if you hired somebody who only shoots film, HDR photographs might not be their strong side. You might also find amazing photographs on your photographer’s website, that you’d like her or him to repeat at your wedding. Trust me, your photos will still be different, but the idea, lighting, or pose might make you happy for years.

Pinterest

Pinterest has become a standard for visual bookmarking, and there are tons of great ideas to boost your wedding photography inspiration! From detail shots to sophisticated poses and locations, Pinterest will keep you busy for hours. Just create an account (if you still don’t have one) and start your wedding inspiration board. After you’ve done collecting the best photographs, simply share them with your wedding photographer. If you are still on the early stages of wedding planning, you will definitely enjoy Pinterest as a wonderful place for wedding inspiration.

Wedding Magazines

If you are into editorial wedding photography, then magazines are your treasure trove. I am mostly talking about ads, not about real weddings (where most of the shots are flowers and decorations). Take a pic with your cell phone, or send a screenshot from your iPad – this will be more than enough for your wedding photographer to get a hint of what you want.

Old Family Albums

This one is definitely not for everyone. What you’ll find in your grandma’s album cannot be called inspiration in a general ‘visual’ way. But it can be a very sentimental way to connect with your family through photography. After you’ve done your research, make sure to send only one email to your photographer. Sometimes, wedding photographers get blamed for not following ‘this request’ or ‘that suggestion’. And while some photographers do deserve it, others don’t. Remember: it’s all about cooperation. Having one email that says “Linda Marks Wedding Photography Inspiration” instead of ten Facebook messages, three SMSs, and five emails, will exponentially boost your chances of getting what you want. So, go ahead and get inspired for your wedding day! And keep in mind that the most important thing on your wedding day is to have fun! After all, it’s YOUR day. Do your best, and leave professionals the rest! :)

Arc and Anastassia won our hearts right away. What a sincere, warm, and loving couple! The passion and chemistry between them was palpable. We enjoyed the way they looked at each other… It was incredibly sweet – and inspiring, too, because seeing people who are so much in love is one of the best parts of being a Toronto wedding photographer.

The couple was looking for professional wedding photography coverage in Toronto, and they loved our style. We couldn’t wait to get started with the professional engagement photo shoot. They wanted to have an engagement session in Niagara Falls winery region. We were super excited to be their Niagara Falls engagement photographers! Anastassia and Arc did an excellent job: they created a perfectly matching look. We absolutely loved their elegant and vibrant outfits! Anastassia looked stunning in her cute dress, and Arc looked handsome and jaunty.

We traveled to Niagara Falls together to catch the beautiful golden late afternoon light. Sunset engagement photos are the best! We took many great shots. The place was so beautiful and perfect for creating romantic engagement photographs.

Arc and Anastassia felt at ease in front of the camera. We sometimes tell our couples that wedding photography coverage starts with the engagement session. To get the best professional wedding photos, the bride and groom must feel very confident and trust their photographers. This type of rapport and trust is built during an engagement session.

The couple joked and laughed a lot and were enjoying their professional engagement photo session. It was a treat for us too to shoot beautiful people who not only are deeply in love with each other, but who also do care about professional photography. We love it when couples put special effort into preparing for their engagement session.

This engagement session flew in the blink of an eye. It was fun, relaxed, and beautiful. So will be their wedding!!

Alex and Anastassia loved their wedding photos! :) They said that hiring a professional wedding photographer was a great decision. Their big day flew so fast that they hardly remembered the details, but thanks to the wedding photos they could now relive it all.

Because the couple went for the full-day wedding photography coverage, they have many beautiful wedding photos. They can now select their favourites to include in the high quality wedding album with a trendy cover.

Our wedding albums include enough pages for the wedding day highlights. With so many beautiful wedding photographs, the couple, however, got additional spreads to showcase as many portraits, candid shots, details, and traditional family pictures as they could.

Our stunning custom-designed albums in Toronto are available at our studio exclusively. We order them from carefully selected US suppliers. We offer a great selection of wedding album covers and decoration options. Debossed leather covers, beautiful cameos, and other options are available.

We hope that Alex and Anastassia will enjoy their gorgeous wedding album for many years to come!!

Alex and Anastassia are a beautiful and young couple. He is a handsome and charismatic, thoughtful and witty. His princess-like bride is charming, and her smile is bright and infectious! They both are excited about professional wedding photography, and we’ve been looking forward to their wedding. To us, shooting this amazing couple would be Toronto wedding photography at its best.

When it comes to the wedding day logistics, the less travelling has to be done, the better. Alex thought everything through. The couple’s stayed at Old Mill Hotel in Toronto to make sure their morning starts nice and calm, with plenty of time to get ready and do Old Mill Toronto wedding photography. Another huge benefit of taking wedding preparation photos at a beautiful hotel is the luxurious backdrop that makes your wedding photos look richer and more appealing.

Their wedding photography coverage started with the bride prep session. Anastassia looked stunning! We took tons of beautiful bridal portraits. She was glowing and so gorgeous that we just couldn’t stop. :) Her wedding bouquet was luscious: rich orange colours added even more beauty to the bridal photos. Anastassia got lots of bride preparation pictures! We wanted to capture this beauty so that everyone could see how amazing she looked on her wedding day.

To Alex and Anastassia, the groom preparation photos were no less important. Their wedding schedule was perfect for us to plan a nice outdoor groom prep photo session. Among many other challenges of wedding photography coverage, one of the vital things during prep photo sessions is to put the groom and groomsmen at ease, at the same time capturing magazine-style wedding images. We love this challenge, and Alex’s groom prep photos say it all :)

The couple chose a beautiful church for their wedding ceremony. Although the lighting conditions inside churches are rarely perfect, wedding ceremony photography is above all about genuine feelings and one-of-a-kind moments. Alex and Anastassia’s family and friends are sincere and warm people. They were so happy to share the joy of this solemn and yet so romantic moment. Our job was to be an artistic witness, unobtrusive yet ubiquitous, and to capture the beautiful story that was unraveling before our eyes.

The time after the ceremony is the wedding photography time :) The couple agreed to give us an opportunity to take plenty of beautiful bridal party photos. It was a sunny day, and the green landscape of the park added to the vibrant colours of the photographs. Of course, we took many beautiful bride and groom portraits :) It was such a nice and relaxed bridal party photo shoot. Kudos to Alex for planning the wedding day so well to allocate enough time for wedding photography!

The wedding reception that followed was warm and friendly. Wedding reception photography is an important part of the story-telling for a Toronto wedding photographer. First dance photos, cutting the cake photos, bouquet toss photos… All of these are important and should be captured properly.

This was a beautiful wedding! We wish Alex and Anastassia much happiness and joy!

Stephanie and Giovanni really appreciate professional wedding photography and are happy with their wedding photos. We couldn’t wait to start creating their beautiful personalized wedding album. The couple went for full-day wedding photography coverage collection that included a high quality wedding album with a trendy cover.

Our wedding albums include enough pages to show the best moments of the wedding day. With so many beautiful wedding photographs, the couple, however, wanted to get additional spreads to include as many portraits, candid shots, details, and traditional family pictures as they could.

Our stunning custom-designed albums in Toronto are available at our studio exclusively, as we order them from carefully selected US suppliers. We offer a great selection of wedding album covers and decoration options. Debossed leather covers, beautiful cameos, and other options are available.

We hope that Stephanie and Giovanni will enjoy their gorgeous wedding album for many years to come!!

We’ve been waiting for this couple’s wedding day with great excitement!! With Stephanie and Giovanni, wedding photography is a true joy.

We started at the bride’s house. Taking bride prep pictures with Stephanie was so much fun! We took plenty of beautiful bride and bridesmaids photos, bride and her family portraits, and of course, gorgeous bridal portraits. Wedding family portraits are an important part of wedding photo coverage, and the best way to capture them is to make sure they convey genuine emotions (and not just look formal). This is what evokes the best memories later on… As for the bride portraits, we loved working with Stephanie! She’s such a sunshine! We really wanted to show everyone how beautiful and happy she is.

Stephanie did an amazing job selecting the most beautiful wedding details for her big day. We were happy to carefully capture them so she can enjoy those images in the years to come. Usually, for a bride her wedding day goes by in a blink; with the busy schedule of this most beautiful and important event in her life, she hardly notices the details she had chosen with so much love. With professional wedding detail photos, Stephanie will be able to enjoy the beauty of her unique bridal details and relive her happy moments.

We love groom preparation photos. Giovanni is a very handsome groom, and we were excited that the couple decided to incorporate the groom prep photo session into their tight wedding schedule. To our mind, groom portraits are an important part of wedding photography coverage. We do our best to let the groom and groomsmen feel relaxed and at ease, at the same time capturing magazine-style images that both the bride and groom will love!

Wedding ceremony photography is about real feelings and sincere emotions. Stephanie and Giovanni’s wedding ceremony was very touching, with their closest friends and family sharing their joy. This couple emanated quiet peace, deep love, and warm sincerity. Guests were filled with emotions and so happy for the couple!

As Toronto wedding photographers, we do our best to make perfect use of the time after the wedding ceremony! We enjoy taking beautiful bridal party pictures, and of course, bride and groom portraits. Wedding reception photography is important, too: every bride wants to have beautiful first dance photos, cutting the cake pictures, and tons of wedding party dancing images! For the first time during the busy wedding day, not only the guests, but also the bride and groom can relax and have fun, and we’re there to capture the best moments.

Stephanie and Giovanni, you are amazing!! We wish you much much happiness in your life together!!

Right from the start we knew that capturing this sweet and sincere couple’s wedding day is going to be real joy! Niagara wedding photography is paramount for Ina, and of course we do our best to meet and exceed her expectations. Bride prep photos at her house allows us to take plenty of beautiful bride and bridesmaids photos, along with the gorgeous bridal portraits (later on, the bride will choose one of them as wall art for her home), as well as wedding family portraits that convey genuine emotions.

In wedding ceremony photography, we always go for capturing real feelings and sincere emotions. With this couple, it’s easy! The bride cries a lot; it’s very touching, and everyone at the ceremony can feel how magic sincerity is. The bride’s emotion is infectious and spreads through the crowd… Wow! Everyone at the church was touched and genuinely happy for the newly-wed couple!

The time after the ceremony belongs to us, Niagara wedding photographers! We do our best to make the most of it, taking plenty of beautiful bridal party pictures, bride and groom portraits, and fun Niagara wedding limo photographs. Our job was easy at this wedding, as this couple gathered around them the most wonderful people – everyone is so excited, full of life, easy-going, and most cooperative!

Wedding reception photography is an important part of the big day schedule, as it allows us to capture the beautiful first dance photos, cutting the cake pictures, and tons of wedding party dancing images! This is the time when not only the guests, but also the bride and groom can relax and have fun, and we are all over the place to take some great shots that show real happiness and feelings.

What an amazing couple!! We wish them lots of happiness and hope they will always stay as sweet and sincere as on their wedding day!!

The couple were so happy with their wedding photos – they couldn’t wait to get their beautiful personalized wedding photo albums! Brad and Rita opted for the full-day wedding photography coverage collection that included a stylish quality wedding album with a trendy cover.

Our wedding photo albums include enough pages to show the best highlights of the wedding day. Having received many beautiful wedding photographs, the couple, however, ordered additional spreads to include as many portraits, candid shots, details, and traditional family pictures as they could.

Rita is a stunning bride who really looks like a supermodel! She did her own gorgeous hair, and we were so happy to take a couple of bridal prep shots with her – she looked so beautiful she hardly needed any help with her make-up :) She greatly enjoyed getting ready for her big day, and we took photojournalistic wedding photographs to capture her excitement and anticipation.

In addition to great bridal portraits, wedding details pictures are another important part that Burlington wedding photographers enjoy :). The photographs or details might not be the ones that the couple will select as their wall art later on, but they certainly are unique and help to re-live the beauty of the wedding day, and of course, they add so much to the wedding album. Gorgeous wedding gown, stylish shoes, lovely wedding bouquet – there’s a story behind every detail carefully picked by the bride, and of course, we try to capture as many details as we can.
